Centurion Deluxe Oil Primed 18"x24" Linen Panel, 3 PackSave Up to84%Off list
Starting At: 9.69
White Master Quality Archival Deluxe Linen Panels! Superb performance and color retention! Exclusive OP enhanced oil priming As an oil colorist it is important to work on oil primed surfaces and not universal primed surfaces. The reason is that universal primed surfaces are semi-absorbent. Gesso is absorbent even if it is plate smooth. The paint does not get absorbed as much and sits on the surface more making it easy to blend and manipulate. Granted it is not highly absorbent but the fact remains that some oil will get into the primer and flatten the image. You can get around this by using an under-painting oil ground on top of the surface of a universal ground canvas but this is very time consuming and expensive. Unlike universal ground, our oil priming chemically bonds with the oil paint and is non-absorbent allowing the paint to sit up on the surface with the correct refraction quality of the oil binder. If you use any high-quality oil color we urge you to use an oil primed surface and now we make it affordable! Exclusive OP Enhanced Oil Priming! Centurion Deluxe Professional Oil Primed Linen Panels, specifically designed for oil painters. Superb receptive surface accepts even the thinnest oil color lay down without fragmenting on the surface and is a permanent surface as colors adhere better on it than any other oil primed canvas on the market today! Acid-free and archival, the primed medium-textured linen is cleanly wrapped and adhered to a solid 3mm MDF wood board. Key Features:* Acid-free, Archival Linen Panels* 11oz.

Silver 100% Archival / Unprimed Aluminum Boards - Acid Free- Adds Value to Your Artwork 100% Archival Boards - Acid Free- Adds Value to Your Artwork Great for Plein Air Painting - Painting on metal panels has been historically recorded since before the times of Rembrandt, who painted many of his great masterpieces on copper. In the last 20 years, professional artists have been moving towards working on aluminum composite panels (ACP), which feature lighter weights and stronger construction. AlumaComp is widely used for mounting fine art, photographs, linen and canvas to create an incredibly stable painting panel, or to use on its own as a reliable, archival painting support. The brushed aluminum surface takes primer beautifully, providing texture that grips the primer for a perfect bond. The smooth aluminum surface can be used as is to take advantage of its' beautiful finish, or custom sanded or polished for any texture necessary for your artistic applications. When used as a painting panel, the smooth side can be used as the work’s actual highlights for a modern look— either left bare as is, or sanded/buffed back to the bare metal before varnishing to take advantage of the metallic glow. Simply peel the screened film used to protect both sides, and let your creativity do the rest.

His paintings are a declaration to the dramatic power of representational art. The origin of his inspiration does not lie in academia, but rather his childhood, surrounded by the vivid paintings he saw in Gothic cathedrals as a child. Eric doesn’t aspire to simply paint a figure; he paints a moment, a human experience, and an emotional dialogue that transcends culture, religion and time itself. See More -

White Exceptionally Smooth Professional Quality Cotton Panels Ideal for oils, acrylics, caseins, and alkyds, the New York Central Portrait-Smooth Artist Canvas Panels are manufactured using high-quality acrylic primed cotton canvas. Only the purest 100% cotton is used in the extra-tight weave to create an exceptionally smooth canvas free of the knots and bumps usually found in linen. The portrait-smooth canvas is then cleanly wrapped and adhered to a warp-resistant 3.5mm MDF board. Acid-free, archival glue acts as an archival barrier between the MDF and the canvas. New York Central's universally primed surface is ideal for oils, acrylics, caseins, and alkyds. Perfect for traveling and painting outside, the canvas panels are sturdy yet lightweight and take up less space than a standard stretched canvas. All New York Central products are premium quality and made with only the finest materials. Packaging Note: The primed canvas weighs 8.82 oz. per m2 and 7.37 oz per sq.yd. The square yard weight is listed on the canvas label; however, the correct weight is 8.82 oz.

Yes, is plate smooth using only the finest close weaved cotton and primed three times to a super smooth surface. So smooth you can quickly draw on it. But here's the twist you can also paint on it with any media! The priming is the key. Imagine a canvas so versatile that it will accept any paint, ink, or marker you have in your studio. Imagine the possibilities. The Watercolor Surface - Many watercolorists draw with permanent marker as they create their watercolors. With this surface, you can draw right into your watercolor without feathering or smudging, or you can paint on top of the drawing. A unique twist to this canvas is that you can draw with a permanent marker and use the lines to form a resist for your watercolors. For traditional watercolor painting, the color sits right up on the surface and allows for easy lifting, scratching into the paint film, reworking the painted surface, and even layering for unique effects. Use with opaque or transparent colors. This canvas works best with tube watercolor and provides rich, vibrant expressions. Acrylics and Watercolors - You may want to start off playing with watercolors and gouache reworking or even removing areas then fine-tuning and finally finishing off the top layers with permanent acrylics. Of course, you don't need to use watercolors with your acrylics but you can if you want. You'll find this surface to be fantastic with virtually any acrylic based paint from heavy body to acrylic based inks to airbrush colors. Before applying watercolor, we suggest that you clean the canvas thoroughly with high-strength Isopropyl alcohol to remove any hand-oils from the canvas. Surface oils may have accumulated from manufacturing, packaging, or unwrapping the canvas. Cleaning the canvas should prevent the paint from beading up on the surface. See More -
Ampersand Encausticbord 2-1/8" Cradled Panel 18x24"Save Up to35%Off list
Starting At: 6.36
White The innovative Encausticbord surface is ready to use and requires no preparation An archival panel designed from a collaboration between Ampersand and R&F Handmade Paints, only Encausticbord has a ready to use surface formulated for the unique demands of encaustic painting and mixed media. This combination of Ampersand’s archival panel coating technology and R&F’s expertise in encaustics led to Encausticbord™, a unique wood panel that has the tooth to hold encaustic and mixed media unlike any other surface. Key Features:* Revolutionary encaustic ground is heat resistant* Designed to bond strongly with encaustic wax and collage* Archival, eco-friendly, and formaldehyde-free * Manufactured from sustainable forest products Perfect For:* Encaustic and Multi-Media Artists* Encaustic Paints* Oil Paints and Oil Sticks* Collage, Image Transfer, and Incising The Encausticbord™ ground has been specially formulated to provide superb adhesion between the encaustic paint and the surface. The ground is formulated with a very high solids to acrylic binder ratio which results in a very porous and absorbent surface. In addition, mineral aggregates are carefully selected in size and shape and added to the ground to yield a surface with a higher degree of surface roughness than typical acrylic gesso, which allows for better adhesion of encaustic wax. The ground is not only heat resistant and highly absorbent, but also holds tight to layers of wax and collage without the fear of cracking or separation. The innovative Encausticbord surface is ready to use and requires no preparation. The bright and velvety ground is perfect not only for encaustics, but for mixed media applications including oil paints and sticks, collage, image transfer, incising and more, and the durable bond offered by the ground means that fantastic textures and thick layers can be built up on its outstandingly receptive surface. Encausticbord is available in various depths for multiple display options: 1/8" and 1/4" flat panels, 7/8" and 1 1/2" cradled panels, and 2 1/8" DEEP gallery cradled panels for maximum support. Deeper cradled panels give artists the benefit of a gallery-style, frameless presentation. See More -
